Without arguing their creative legal theory in a court case with due process, adversarial arguments, and cross examination, the Biden administration was once again able to confiscate the legal documents, which are supposed to be protected by attorney-client privilege, of his chief opponent Trump.

President Joe Biden said Thursday during a preview of an interview with MSNBC’s Craig Melvin that he had no advance knowledge of federal investigators’ raid on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s apartment and office. The full interview will air Friday morning on NBC’s “Today” show.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also served as a personal attorney for Donald Trump when he was in the White House, has responded to the raid. “The Biden department of justice has completely ignored clear evidence (which the FBI has had for over a year) in texts and emails on Hunter Biden’s hard drive of failing to register numerous times as a foreign agent, child pornography, money laundering, and 30 years of the Biden Crime family taking millions and millions in bribes to sell his public offices,” the press release on his website said of the Wednesday...
